Expertise brought to CHOReOS

The Italian National Research Council (CNR) is the main public research body of Italy. Constituted in 2002 as a merger between the two internationally renowned former Institutes CNUCE and IEI, ISTI is the largest institute of the CNR ICT Department and is committed to scientific excellence in research and technology transfer over Networking, Knowledge Science and
Technologies, Software Science and Technologies, Visual and High Performance Computing.  In CHOReOS CNR-ISTI also involves as a third-party entity researchers from the University of Camerino.
The Software Engineering Laboratory (SELab), led by Antonia Bertolino, brings in a solid expertise and a long outstanding research curriculum in software V&V, testing and analysis. Currently research is strongly focused in the development of methodologies and tools for functional and non-functional testing of component-based systems and Service-oriented Architectures. Of relevance to
CHOReOS, recently concluded or current research projects of which SELab is a partner (and to which A. Polini, now with University of Camerino, has actively contributed) include:

• The FP6 STREP PLASTIC, aimed at enabling the development and deployment of cost-effective application services for next-generation networks.
• The Marie Curie Research Training Network  (MCRTN) TAROT, which aimed at strengthening collaboration among major European testing communities.  
• The FP7 IP TAS3 (Trusted Architecture for Securely Shared Services). The S&T objective of TAS3 is to research and develop a generic open and fully published trusted service architecture for securely shared personal data, and demonstrate it in the employability and the healthcare sectors.  
• The FP7 FET Integrated Project CONNECT, which aims at enabling the seamless networking of digital systems, by synthesizing on the fly the connectors via which networked systems communicate. 

Contribution to CHOReOS

In CHOReOS ISTI will contribute a holistic and integrated approach to guarantee the on-line testability of large scale choreographies for the Future Internet. Therefore, ISTI will contribute to WPs 1 and 5, lead and mostly carry out WP4 tasks, in which they will develop methodologies and tools for on-line V&V and will implement a concept of governance to enforce V&V rules and policies.
